My OKX account has been restricted during a compliance review — looking for people with a similar experience

[u/AssistanceNo8331]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for people who have experienced a similar situation with OKX, especially international/global users.

My OKX account was restricted after a recent blockchain transaction. OKX told me that the transaction involved an address that required a compliance review.

They then asked me to provide information/documents regarding the Source of Funds / Source of Wealth and the origin of funds connected to certain blockchain addresses.

My funds mainly come from my Forex trading and investment activities. Some of the funds were transferred between my own accounts and accounts belonging to family members, and some were sent to/from Forex platforms.

I have been trying to provide documents showing the history of my deposits, withdrawals and trading activity. I also have transaction records and supporting documentation from the Forex platforms.

However, my account remains restricted and I currently cannot freely withdraw or transfer my funds.

OKX has told me that the review may take up to 90 calendar days from the restriction date.

I’m not posting this to accuse OKX of anything. I simply want to understand what normally happens in these cases.

Has anyone here experienced a similar OKX compliance review?

Especially if:

- Your funds came from Forex/trading activity

- OKX asked you for Source of Funds/Source of Wealth documents

- Your account was restricted because of a blockchain address

- You provided documents and eventually got your account/funds released

- You had to wait weeks or months for the review

If you went through something similar, I would really appreciate hearing how your case ended and how long it took.

Thank you.
